[CO2 laser in treatment of laryngeal carcinoma].
The authors performed functional evaluation of voice in 64 patients, who due to limited carcinoma of larynx were submitted unilateral CO2 laser cordectomy. The appearance and mobility of larynx were registered and evaluated in particular periods post surgery, the patients voices were registered and acoustic analysis submitted. Gradual voice improvement following the wound healing were observed in subjective patients evaluation as in objective one. In some cases very good functional results were obtained, which made possible for patients after CO2 laser cordectomy to continue work requiring good function of larynx.
